Idk if any of you have been keeping up with the experimental NASCAR entry that is running in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but it is doing remarkably well.

LOL. Ok, pal. So obviously Ink and I are just making shite up. Got it.

On the other hand, you don’t actually know shite about whether Kelley was going to be better than Junior.

Her own father(God Rest His Soul) said as much, and he threw out platitudes like a hardly ever ,especially w/his own kids.

Yes, you made up the part about me hating women drivers.

Earnhardt was a massive dick towards his sons - much more so to Kerry than to Jr., while being extremely doting towards his daughters.

It’s like I said last night Steeler, there’s no point in arguing with trolls who like to sling their thing around trying to show they know the truth and everyone else doesn’t. (Says the guy who actually interviewed Dale Earnhardt Sr. one time, one on one. And was there one time when he hit, hard, on a female sports writer who given her track record, she was sleeping with half the college basketball team she was covering as a beat writer at the time, I have zero doubt that they visited each other later that evening.)

Haha! Ironic.
I don’t give a rats arse about how good Kelley was, but you don’t know any more “truth” than others. No one will ever know.

Absolute truth.

But I will point out that in my original post, I never speculated on how successful Kelley Earnhardt would’ve been if she’d gotten to run Cup, or if she’d have been successful at all. I also never speculated as to how many races she’d have won, or if she’d have won any races at all.

I simply said her racing chops were considered to be better than her brother’s. That’s all. No more or less. Then provided documentation from people who actually raced against her, which was dismissed as saying nice things and using hyperbole just to make the girl feel good.

I would ask why this is so triggering to folks, but we all know why. Is what it is.

Chops also are useless if you choose not to use them, and she made that choice and has done quite all right for herself as one of the most powerful people in NASCAR who won’t ever have to worry about where her next meal is coming from, so it’s obvious she made the right choice.

Pretty good stuff between Truex and Hamlin for the lead.

Right after McMurray said he expected Truex to play it cool there.

That sums up and should hopefully end this discussion.

Good stuff.

I missed the reason for this caution….is it really for a loose tire on pit road?

There are probably folks out there who think NASCAR drivers were all wonderful church-going family men waving the flag and eating apple pie.

David Pearson for one got as much tail over the years as any groupie-chasing rock star.

I was about to make fun of Austin Dillon for sucking again, but it looked like Gibbs definitely got into him.
